Weatherization Assistance Program

Weatherization Works!

The low-income Home Weatherization
Assistance Program is a FREE service funded by the Federal
Department of Energy (DOE) and administered by the Michigan
Department of Human Services (DHS). The program provides free energy
conservation services for eligible low-income households. DHS
contracts with Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA) to
operate the program. The Agency determines applicant eligibility,
performs the necessary inspections and contracts with qualified,
licensed and insured private contractors to complete the work. Their
services reduce energy use and lower utility bills, thus creating
more self sufficient households.

Families and individuals who are
interested in having their home weatherized must meet current
federal income guidelines, which includes the gross income of
everyone residing in the home at the time of application

Recipients of FIP, SSI or SDA who have
received benefits during any part of the past twelve months are
automatically eligible

Applications must be residents of
Oakland or Livingston County
